Potent 11β-Hydroxylase Inhibitors with Inverse Metabolic Stability in Human Plasma and Hepatic S9 Fractions To Promote Wound Healing
摘要:
Topical application of CYP11B1 inhibitors to reduce cutaneous cortisol is a novel strategy to promote healing of chronic wounds. Pyridyl substituted arylsulfonyltetrahydroquinolines were designed and synthesized resulting in a strong inhibitor 34 (IC50 = S nM). It showed no inhibition of CYP17 and CYP19 and no mutagenic effects. It exhibited inverse metabolic stability in plasma (t(1/2) >> 150 mm), which is similar to wound fluid in composition, and in liver S9 fractions (t(1/2) = 16 mm).
